Thank you, i ll give it a shot. What bothers me with the link i posted is, that symbol have arrows which point down, which means that the symbol isn't as useful if you want to place it centered on a feature.

For me the majority of symbols just have "?" in them... using QGIS Wein 2.8.1

hmm... i dont like the idea of raster symbols. Im not sure if it would be slower to render 1000 raster images as symbols than 1000 vector symbols, but another thing with raster symbols is they dont scale well
